I was exempted and moved all the way to the last round of interviews. The compensation was even negotiated before hand. I am a regular engineer with three years experience.

Your logic:
Men in specific industries have a higher likelihood to sexually assault women, so much so that it pushes 90% of the women out of an industry with greater than 10M people. Do you understand how delusional that is?
Driven out by who? A mass group of secret conspirators?
Why would anyone work hard if the government will strip it from their family.
This means the business isnt feasible.
Business isn't figuring that out, it's just good publicity. There's a difference
Nope!
They only say something when it benefits them, companies are not a charity
I'm just saying, it is no coincidence that they say this. There are a lot of influences like this Uber statement that are doing the same thing. Most people are not aware
You are right, I am. That doesnt change the underlying reasons for a company like Uber to make this statement. It is manipulation of the public, intended to make Uber look moral, as well as intended to reassure their cheap labor base. The fact that people on here are championing it shows how effective this kind of PR is, even among the educated people of HN.
Travis Kalanick, standing up for the cheap labor that drives his Ubers and writes it's code.
This comment exhibits how far the propaganda of energy efficiency has gone
Your boss:
"Hey! We're giving you a bad employment deal, so don't talk to anyone else, so you don't figure it iut"
This couldn't be farther from the truth. People branding the current administration like this are destabilizing the country. The media in this country is on an ideological witch hunt, and you are proliferating it.
Immigrants are paid less, work harder to stay here, cannot switch jobs due to H1B visa laws, are happy to be here at all.
"the real underlying issue is unemployment/underemployment"
Why is a country that as high unemployment allowing high levels of immigration? Being mad about that seems highly rational to me
"Similarly, social deficits may be identified as Asperger syndrome when in reality it's may be a lack of common topics/culture and a disregard for the monkeylike social dance"
I agree with this. Any time I've said it in person, people jump all over me. It's heresy
one day it all ends
Yeah I think the same thing. If we compare Hadoop to Spark, Spark is just easier and faster. It is superior in almost every way (unless we are talking about 1PB+ scale). I think data science will be automated. Some things wont, but engineers can already get pretty far by jamming data into ML packages.
Because peoples interpretations of the situation are believable enough to call fact. Subjective interpretations are not reality. If you think they are then we dont have much to argue here. I have experienced depression for most of my adult life.
Right but your assertion here is completely unfounded. It is a theory. Quantifying that nothing in someones life (or their past) is causing them depression is near impossible. This charade is completely scientifically unprovable.
Edit: changed the word sadness to depression.
It means you arent welcome
That is horrendous, Trump 2016!
Sysadmin is getting automated. There is not reason to know it.
It's disturbing that this post, which reflects reality was downvoted.
Watson is all about marketing, it's not that impressive. The stories you see about it are placed.
Most of marketing at traditional compnaies can be automated by ML. This is already happening, but there are huge F500 companies where the employees have an incentive not to automate.
Yeah I had the same problem. I actually found this online course at ylanguage.com it was really effective.
This is not even close to being true. People get hired into top companies all the time.
This is a narrative, it's not what happens in reality.
